Hi John, Thanks for letting us see the kit. This thing is going to be huge. Perfect for super detailing. Have a great day buddy. Jeff

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Absolutely Jeff - thanks for checking it out. Yeah a massive kit! Take care my friend.

[@OzScalemodeling]

Looks like a great kit.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Peter. You guys are good, I can't tell you how far behind I am on watching vids, appreciate you checking that out buddy. Cheers!

[@davevans_WW2_models]

Hi John looks like a big kit, good luck with the build. Nice that you're willing to help support Alex even with the extra cost for the shipping. Any new kits i am going to buy in the future will come from Alex shop.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Right on Dave - shipping was the pill but happy to help Alex and very cool if you can - cheers

[@treyzmodels422]

Looking forward to seeing this build John! Canopies look really clear that’s a bonus for something this scale. Model on!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Right on Trey thank you for watching - be well buddy

[@greybeardmodels]

That looks like an epic build John. Have fun. Cheers Bob 👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Bob! Yeah, it will be the biggest I have build so far. Cheers

I have Trumpeter's B-2 version that I have yet to build. I am sure your build videos will come in handy.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hey thank you Dan. I generally like Trumpeter kits so I am looking forward to it. Cheers and best to you on the B-2, great looking plane.

Nice ginormous Stuka kit John, I haven't built any plane scale larger then 1/48. Have an epic build.😊

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks David! Yeah, I honestly don't know how I am going to film it or where I will put it LOL. Thanks for watching.

Thank you Paul!

[@WayneWelly]

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Wayne - appreciated

[@DutchDaveModels]

Go big or go home 😅 Nice kit John! In EU it’s only 12% above the Airfix Spitfire retail on average.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks Dave! Yeah I can get the Spitfire for $100 here. This is ~$145 here. Anyway, let's see how it builds up. Cheers

Nice shout-out for Alex 👍 Was it from one of his sales? Kinda surprised you didn't go for one of the newer tooling. However, didn't see a newer A version on Scalemates. Big girl, you going to make her a roof hanger or try to find some shelf space? At least the range of Eduard aftermarket can really make it pop if you want to go that route. Otherwise, surprisingly good detail most of the plastic. It is Trumpeter, so there's always 1 thing about it, LoL. This one should keep you out of trouble for a while 😂🤣☕🐢

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Crazy - ultimate goal was to give his shop some biz. I thought wow that looks impressive! I've not done a Stuka. I also bought the Tamiya P38J as well and he snuck in a whole bunch of goodies in the boxes. The shipping was a lot, again I wanted to give his shop some patronage. I'm taking over our dining room table! Which can seat 10 hehe. Yeah I have to see what aftermarket I can get. With the canopy masks. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@crazylocha2515]

Scalemates listed several Eduard Big Sin plus other stuff under the main Trumpeter Stuka kit search. Not sure what differences between versions A-B-B2 etc, will leave that for more experienced Stuka builders. Maybe find ideas from Hyperscale etc forums. Some solid experience over there in UK. I certainly understand doing Alex a solid. Anymore, I don't fool with anything but FedEx shipping from England anymore. It's slightly better priced and they know the ins and outs of customs under $500. Here in FL DHL used to be the other EU/UK choice, but have gone completely in the toilet since the beerbug. Too many are stuck on poor service from royal mail, to the point of infatuated with it. Now have severely limited ordering from UK because of it. Am still hoping for a 48th Stuka to make a ceiling hanger myself, LoL. Hope you are doing well and really want to see how much joy this one brings you. 👍☕🐢

[@StevoLondon]

Hey John, looking well on the Airfix live stream, would love to follow this build with you mate, any timeframes? I have the B,D & G in the stash, not started yet 👍

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya Stevo - yeah that would be cool. I might start that in the summer. My next plane is going to be the new MiniArt P47 Deluxe, which I have on pre-order. I am going to start the Stuka after that I think. Nice! It will be nice to see the later model(s) built up. Thanks for watching.
